Clean, Safe, Scalable: Our Bagging Solution for Battery Grade Carbon Black at Birla Carbon
When high-tech materials meet demanding packaging requirements, precision is key. That’s exactly the challenge Birla Carbon presented to us. As one of the world’s leading suppliers of carbon black, the company is expanding into the electromobility sector with a newly developed product designed specifically for lithium-ion batteries.
Birla Carbon’s latest variant of carbon black is ultra-fine, electrically conductive, and essential for modern battery technology. But these very properties make it particularly challenging to handle: low bulk density, high dust potential, and stringent purity requirements.
Efficient Bagging for the Battery Technology of Tomorrow
Our answer? The VeloVac vacuum packer – purpose-built for ultra-light powders like carbon black, silica, or pigments. Integrated as part of a full-line system that includes ValvoSeal ultrasonic sealing and the VeloPack handling robot, this turnkey solution now enables Birla Carbon to operate a fully automated, dust-free, and highly scalable packaging process – from product intake to the neatly stacked pallet.
Why Birla Carbon Chose GREIF-VELOX
Thanks to the vacuum-based process, our customer achieves up to 75% higher product compaction, significantly reducing both CO₂ emissions during transport and overall packaging and logistics costs. The result: a clean, efficient, and reliable operation that runs around the clock with minimal maintenance.
„The turnkey solution from GREIF-VELOX delivers a globally unique packaging process for us. Without this automated and clean setup, it would have been impossible for us to bring our innovative product successfully to market.”“
